Using my own criteria, which I'll violate if I feel like it: It has to be old (20ish years), has to have been a "hit", likely to get airplay on a "classic rock" station, and so thoroughly overplayed that I would rather gouge out my eyes than to voluntarily listen to it again.
These may have been good, even great songs from talented artists - but meh, I've heard them enough. Sorry if I've gored your sacred cow on this list.
